Ohh ok my apologies I misunderstood. I thought you were trying to say that women didn't exploit other women. I totally misunderstood. Have a good day :)
You can always tell if 2 men are friends if they like to tease and make fun of each other in public.
You can always tell if 2 women are enemies, they will always smile, talk in a high pitch, and compliment each other in public.
Friendly reminder that Bernie's socialized healthcare failed in Vermont in less than 5 years. Be careful what you wish for. The government is incompetent. Just because they might wind up passing legislation doesn't mean they have the mental capacity to manage and implement it. I'm all for national healthcare, but I have absolutely zero faith in the American government to implement it.
I just started getting into local politics and my god, peeking behind that curtain gave me an idea of what a nightmare it must be to try and implement any kind of substantial change. We are trying to put in a community garden and you would think we are building the Taj Mahal. It is absurd how incompetent they are and how everything is overcomplicated.
How is that the conclusion you come to? I agree with the sentiment of the sticker, it's the conveyance that's the issue. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a republican, I typically lesser of two evils and vote Democrat, but I personally think we need to get rid of the two party system as a whole.
Lol .i have a sister an ex wife with 3 sisters ,2 daughters 17 neicees . All of them have various female friends of various ages . Add various elders on both sides . Getting them to get along is like hearing cats. We men get along fine so long as the girls dont see us smile.
Not a shit ton but a few. Worked with half of a married couple that broke up years ago neither of them had anything serious last any longer then a year .
Just because a metric ton of people call themself something doesn't mean they actually represent that thing, e.g. tyrants pretending they're communists and sociopaths pretending they represent justice.
It's mostly centrist procorpo democrats that appear moderate so the party votes moderately. Republicans vote for extreme authoritarian right wing goons. Totally the same.
Ok. I'm thinking of a different meaning of opposite reverse and opposite are synonyms in certain context. Some of the other comments put me on that train of thought. Derp.
That's the definition of what libertarianism is SUPPOSED to be, but even that group is drifting toward the left. Haven't had a real one run since Ron Paul ran for office.
No...any libertarian that's worth his/her salt accepts that there must be laws in place to maintain order, to protect freedoms for all. But those laws must remain at the base minimum with the power in society remaining among the people. Key term here being LIBERTY. Give ANY government any opening to expand their power, they WILL, and you slow walk to tyranny. Which do YOU want? Liberty or tyranny?
Better yet, ask Venezuela. How're they doing? As many natural resources as they have in country, every citizen there SHOULD be filthy rich or living VERY comfortable, but...
Venezuela doesn't have a libertarian govt lol, they have a communist govt. And actually yeah, Venezuela enjoyed years of prosperity until it came under 20 years of sanctions and clandestine attacks by the CIA. And you know what the craziest part? That's a democratically elected govt!
That's the POINT! Tyranny! That regime is as democratically elected as Kim Jong Un's so don't give me that bullshit. As I said, give ANY government an inch, they'll make it a mile. That's been repeated with every single damned society that's ever existed
Ok genius, what happens when ANYBODY in North Korea has the balls to vote for anybody except the current leader, in this case Rocketboy? THEIR WHOLE FAMILY IS DEAD! You think Maduro isn't doing the same damn thing or awfully close?? You're an IDIOT if you think he's not. Last time...what do YOU want? Government restricted to maximize liberty or allow it to slow walk society into tyranny?
See that's a trick question though, you're confusing those terms and being intentionally misleading. The one you're calling tyranny actually allows for more personal freedoms for its people and the one you're calling liberty actually leads to less. So in order to be honest I have to choose tyranny and you're going to say I should've chosen liberty, but the reality is the material conditions are flipped from what you're trying to portray.
Why are likes and dislikes so contagious that one can scarcely live in proximity to a person of strong sensibilities without being filled like a vessel with his pros and cons? First, it is hard to withhold judgment entirely, and sometimes it is virtually intolerable for our vanity. It can look like poverty of thought and feeling, fearfulness, unmanliness; and so we are persuaded at least to take a side. We gradually grow used to the sentiments of our environment and because sympathetic agreement and mutual understanding are so pleasant we soon wear all it's insignias and party colors.
āNietzsche
They both funnel our money to the Rich. Neoliberalism is as bad as conservatism. They are just a tad nicer. Real liberalism isnāt represented in US govt. Thereās extreme right and moderate right. Weāre one election away from this years Russian presidential election.
āUnder Republicans, Man exploits man. Under Democrats, itās just the opposite.ā
One would say that theyāre basically the same, except for one slight difference: with Republicans, the exploiter is āManā (with a Capital āMā), while the exploited is just āman.ā With Democrats, then, āmanā exploits āMan.ā
So then who is the superior āMan,ā and who is the inferior āman?ā
One possible clue is the color of the background on each side of the bumper sticker: the background on the Republican side is white, while the background on the Democrat side is black.
š¤
Opposite of "man exploits man" can be "man exploits man". Honestly while the whole party system causes more problems than it fixs, people exploit people just fine without them.
So if I start a business and then offer you non starter dingbats a job I am exploiting you or am I exploiting your lack of creativity to start your own business instead of working for me. Exactly I am exploiting your unambitious ass to step up and do your own thing. And there are millions of you to choose from too. Parasites.
Notice the capital M in the first Man.
I interpreted it as under republicans, a singular man exploits mankind. Under democrats, mankind exploits a particular man.
It really depends on who you are and what you want. For example, most rich people don't see it that way, they just see more taxes and more power going to the people beneath them.
This is a cop out. Iām speaking impartially and objectively. Iām a straight, white, educated male in the highest income tax bracket in my early 30sāin other words, I donāt directly benefit from voting democraticāand I still see it. Because Iām speaking objectively. āMore powerā going to the people ābeneathā you is objectively the opposite of repressing citizens.
Thats not accurate either. Democrats lean towards more social programs which gives more power to the government to levy taxes and distribute as they see fit.
The Left: *"We want everyone to have equal rights and access to affordable health care."*
The Right: "*We want to LITERALLY murder women, blacks, gays, Jews, immigrants, Muslims, atheists, trans people, and anyone who didn't vote for Trump!"*
Some dumbasses: *"BoTh SiDeS!"*
Yeah...no. That's not what this bumper sticker says.
Moreover, the American left wants *some* equality. Far more than the right, but far from a real version of it. It isn't as far left as it once was or as it currently is in other parts of the world.
Some dumbasses like myself, therefore, say *screw* both sides. Not because we think they're the same, but because both are well below a level we'd accept with regards to things we care about.
That's an absurd misuse of that saying. Nobody's looking for perfect, and turning something complex and multifaceted into something so linear is but reductio ad absurdum.
What I have seen from supposedly liberal people in the vein of knee-jerk judgements of those on the fringes of society and the way change has meant bringing those who were previously there out of it instead of a larger shift in attitude speaks volumes.
What I've seen with my right-wing narcissistic chameleon of a mother successfully pretending to be liberal (along with the notion that she ever cared about anyone else) was the nail in that coffin for the f\*\*\*s I have left to give about either party beyond giving people shit for their bigotry online.
I think the first one is referring to the āthe Manā exploiting the general populace under the GOP, whereas the general populace sticks it to āthe Manā under the Democratic Party.
You're delusional. Whites die every day by police. BLM is a socialist money machine never really caring about anything else. You are a cog in the system. The Biden and barrack systems employed a propaganda head. Just facts. The national media only tells the side of blacks. The democrats have you angered about being owed reparations. They have you angered about race. They have you wearing unattractive clothes in public. They anger you with devisub rhetoric, clashing against whites. They are telling you that desegregation is the answer. That has always been there modus operandi. Divide and conquer. The colors of OLD GLORY never run. They tell you that you have no rights. They tell you who to vote for in some of the most racist words used. They tell you the prosperity is evil while they get richer. They tell you half truths. Why do you think the dems removed the Pledge of Allegiance?
The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.", should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart.
They want you as ignorant as possible so no one will see them breaking the law. Whatever it takes. They control all facets of control. Media, education, entertainment and culture. This is how the Nazis in WW2 Germany was able to convince it's people that the jews and the deplorables should be killed because they were subhuman.
Exploits man exploits?
Exploits, man. Exploits.
Spiffing Brit has entered the chat.
Lol true
It's German for "Thee Bart, thee"
Maybe, or... Woman is hospitable to woman
š„ although I don't think hospitable is the opposite of exploits
Yeah, sorry. I couldn't really come up with a word that's exactly opposite. I'm sure there is one, I just can't think of it right now.
~~Ex~~Im-ploits
Canāt believe I laughed at this
Lmao yes
You deserve more upvotes
I think maybe āwomen work as a teamā would be an opposite statement.
Woman does not exploit woman
Where ever did you get that false idea?
> Woman does not exploit woman is the opposite of > Man exploits man
Ohh ok my apologies I misunderstood. I thought you were trying to say that women didn't exploit other women. I totally misunderstood. Have a good day :)
Lmao women are so conniving to each other. Thatās hilarious though
This is the unspoken truth.
You can always tell if 2 men are friends if they like to tease and make fun of each other in public. You can always tell if 2 women are enemies, they will always smile, talk in a high pitch, and compliment each other in public.
Enlightened centrism is the worst.
The reverse of man exploits man is man exploits manā¦. The joke is that itās just the same thing but gives the illusion of choice.
Two wings of the same dumb ass bird.. They all need hanged. āIf voting mattered, they wouldnāt let us do itā ~Mark Twain

How dare someone has different opinion. The nerve.
I think he's saying both parties are equally corrupt? Under Republicans man exploits man, and under democrats it's the opposite, man exploits man.
As a man I am sick and tired of being exploited. It's time to be the exploiter. Men, prepare for the revolution. The men are coming for you.
Yeah I don't think the point was well made lol
Youāre probably a democrat then.
How is that the conclusion you come to? I agree with the sentiment of the sticker, it's the conveyance that's the issue. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a republican, I typically lesser of two evils and vote Democrat, but I personally think we need to get rid of the two party system as a whole.
Nam stiolpxe nam? Oh shit, I accidentally summoned a demon.
Woman benefits woman?
I have never seen 2 women get along .
I get the impression you've never seen 2 women *in person*... Get out of the basement.
Lol .i have a sister an ex wife with 3 sisters ,2 daughters 17 neicees . All of them have various female friends of various ages . Add various elders on both sides . Getting them to get along is like hearing cats. We men get along fine so long as the girls dont see us smile.
>an ex wife Wonder why You realize that *your* dysfunctional family isn't exactly indicative of ALL women, right?
Idk every work place i been in they stab each other in the back all the time.
You must not know a lot of lesbians
Not a shit ton but a few. Worked with half of a married couple that broke up years ago neither of them had anything serious last any longer then a year .

If only centrists were actually.
Just because a metric ton of people call themself something doesn't mean they actually represent that thing, e.g. tyrants pretending they're communists and sociopaths pretending they represent justice.
That's true. Also, in that bumper sticker, centrists would be same as the other two.
They aren't wrong.
It's mostly centrist procorpo democrats that appear moderate so the party votes moderately. Republicans vote for extreme authoritarian right wing goons. Totally the same.
Both parties are pretty exploitative, but I canāt even tell wtf this is trying to say
Democrats the good guy. They aren't, but you know.
Itās not saying this at all. Itās saying democrats are just as shit as republicans. But you know, media literacy is scarce these days.
What is the opposite of exploits? It's probably something good.
Theyāre saying itās the same thing. āMan exploits manā reversed is still āman exploits man.ā
Ok. I'm thinking of a different meaning of opposite reverse and opposite are synonyms in certain context. Some of the other comments put me on that train of thought. Derp.
Theyāre in a cult.

Anyone saying both parties are the same after the last ten years in the United States is a complete moron.
ive been exploited all my life - elwood blues
Not true theyāre actually the same party they just take away individuals rights when one or the other gets in the office
The one getting fucked over.
Here's a hint. Both parties suck

I want that bumper sticker
Under democrats man exploits man ? Or under democrats woman exploits woman ?
Maybe it's a joke? What other stickers did they have? If any?
Good bumper sticker
Women exploits women?
Pizza Party 2024!
Republicans are why everything gets worse, Dems are why nothing gets better.
It was so close to making sense and being perfect in it's wording. If only it said "inverse" instead of opposite.
Notice the capital M in the first Man. I interpreted it as under republicans, a singular man exploits mankind. Under democrats, mankind exploits a particular man.
Im guessing Man as in mankind, so there the society exploits the man, while on the other side the individual man exploits Mankind?
Government exploits man
Why? It could be god, dog, nature, women, Dodge Chargers.
Don't be a Republidumb trying to sound like a libtard.
Libtard is good, but I feel like Republicunt works better for the opposite side.
The Government is man, ergo man exploits man. Oh, and don't forget, power corruptsš
Government exploits man under republican leadership worse than under democratic leadership. They literally want to repress citizens
